Nestled in the heart of Queensway, this modern apartment is a perfect fit for two. That said, you can squeeze four into this chic space, providing two people don’t mind taking the sofa bed in the living room. But for us, this home is all about the location. Across the road from Hyde Park, you can take a fresh air stroll whenever the mood takes you. Locally, you’ll also find Kensington Palace and the Royal Albert Hall just a stone’s throw away. Keen to explore further afield? Nearby Queensway Underground Station makes hopping across the city a breeze.

At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
